Yahoo email account -
04.15.2011, 04:32 AM
Man this sucks. I have had the same Yahoo email account since the early 90's and although there have been a few small issues over the years I have never lost access for my account. Since moving here to Prague there have been infrequent glitches preventing me from accessing my yahoo mail but usually only for 30 minutes or so. Then after being directed by Microsoft to upgrade to IE9 things became even more erratic. I have IE9 for my internet explorer, and we also use FireFox so we have two browsers available, but no matter which one I use I still can not access my Yahoo email. Today it got worse. I can get into Yahoo OK, and can also access my "MyYahoo" account no problem. I can even click on YahooMail and see the list of MY emails in my account, but if I click on any of my emails I get a (HTTP 404 not found) error. I have tried rebooting, closing one browser and opening another, but nothing will allow me to get into my own emails.
So I got on line with one of their tech's with the Yahoo instant online help line(kind of like instant messenger), and worked through a series of troubleshooting channels, but eventually after talking with three different tech's even they gave up. So then they tell me that they are sending my issue escalating the trouble call to their security team for resolution. When I asked what that means, I was told that I should receive an email within 24 hours from their top security team as they try to resolve the problem. So of course I responded by asking how I would open that email if I cannot get into my email account. Duh, I don't know? was their response. During one of our sessions they told me to end the meeting and re-log in because someone else was monitoring our conversation from the outside. Pretty scary stuff. When I logged back in they told me that there was a third party listening in on our conversation without authorization, even though they said that they were using the latest encryption software available to them. Of course now I have to wonder if someone is tapped into all of my internet communications here locally.
Friends have told me that this is all being created by their latest IE "Internet Explorer" updates because they have not fully tested these platforms to make sure they worked properly. All because they were trying to beat the Google Chrome platform as it was being released, and they did not want to be last ones on the market. At least I still have access to RCM, and UE so I can communicate with my friends in here. But I am completely cut off from everyone else in the world who know me through Yahoo email at Jerry2kone. Is anyone else having issues with IE9? What a PITA. So I am wondering if anyone else has been having any issues with Yahoo email, or IE9?
